"Helen Back" lyrics

Well, Helen had enough of my drinkin'
And boarded a flight to L.A.
I heard she's in a motel in Marina Del Rey
She told me where I could go
When she walked out the door
So I went and bought me a round-trip ticket
Down at the liquor store

Now I've been to hell and back
Tryin' to get Helen back
But she don't answer calls at 2 a.m.
I'd put this bottle down
Right now if she walked in
'Cause my idea of heaven
Is Helen back again

So I booked a flight and went out there
Not knowin' where she'd be
But all I found was a bar downtown
In sunshine and misery
And passed out on the flight back to Tennessee

Now I've been to hell and back
Tryin' to get Helen back
But she don't answer calls at 2 a.m.
I'd put this bottle down
Right now if she walked in
'Cause my idea of heaven
Is Helen back again

I'd put this bottle down
Right now if she walked in
'Cause my idea of heaven
Is Helen back again
Oh, my idea of heaven
Is Helen back again
